The doctor that performed my smart lipo wants to do sculptsure on some areas of my abdomen that seem to have a lot of fat left. I know not to have anymore lipo for 6 months after surgery to allow healing. Is this procedure ok or should I wait the entire 6 months before anything else is done? The doctor knows I am not satisfied with my results but I want to be safe. Thank you.
Answer: #S Sculpsure is a noninvasive 1060nm diode laser treatment that removes up to 25% of stubborn fat in the treated area in 25 minutes.It is FDA approved for the abdomen and flanks. It is safe if you get pregnant in the future.

Answer: Is it OK to have SculpSure Three Months After Smartlipo? I am sure it is safe, but the question is should you wait. At only three months, it is too soon to see the final result of the Smartlipo and the tissues may still be somewhat firm or indurated or gradually softening. I would wait about six months and then proceed with a revision Smartlipo or SculpSure if you wish.

Answer: SculpSure Thank you for your question. Each patient has a unique healing process, so an in-person consultation would be the best way to determine your candidacy for SculpSure after Smart Lipo. You should also work with a board certified facial plastic surgeon who is experienced as a provider.

Answer: Better to be safe Thank you for an excellent question. I perform many treatments to even out irregularities or missed fat spots post Lipo or post CoolSculpting in my office. This is common and not unusual. I would highly suggest to wait 6 months to completely heal. There is nothing wrong with 3 months, but I rather stay safe and conservative. Hope you will achieve the result you were going for using this combo treatment. Best of luck. Best, Dr.Avaliani

Answer: Sculpsure after lipo It is best to wait about 3 months after lipo to begin your Sculpsure treatments. SculpSure is a 25 minute procedure that uses light-based technology to permanently destroy up to 24% of fat per treatment. Each treatment goes deeper into the fat layer for additive results. The laser uses heat at high temperatures to destroy fat. Most patients do not experience pain during the treatment, and if they do, applicators can be adjusted. You will begin to see initial results after 6 weeks, and full results by 12 weeks (this is the amount of time the body takes to eliminate the destroyed fat cells.)
